About Raghbhir

Raghbhir Gandham is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who face difficulties such as addictions, trauma and abuse, eating problems and sleeping issues. Her practice also addresses relationship strain, grief and anger concerns.

She uses straightforward conversation to find what feels manageable for each person. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill-building and understanding patterns that keep problems going. Raghbhir draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of attachment work to help people notice thoughts and try new responses.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that centres their goals. She listens for what matters most and breaks larger problems into smaller, realistic tasks. Therapy may include learning coping skills, practicing emotional regulation and working on communication strategies.

Raghbhir also supports people dealing with body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and relationship endings. She can help with control issues, dissociation and recovery from domestic violence or substance problems.

Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi and are suitable for people who want a practical, talk-based approach. For international clients there is the option to connect from abroad; confirm available session formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Raghbhir commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. ACT focuses on learning to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values to guide action.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, preferences and everyday life. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions from another location. It can also make short check-ins or skills practice simpler when people cannot be on camera for a whole session. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises for a remote setting and help clients practise coping strategies between sessions.
